Here is some intersteing activity from the 5050 group.
Our brilliant cartoonist Danielle Bonner came up with these to help change the culture that politics is for men only.
They are a fun way of getting the message across that women are half the population and should be half the representation.
Our Chairwoman Noirin was featured in the Sligo Champion – great photo Noirin!
There was also a report issued from the Inter Parliamentary Union which acknowledges how gender parity is achievable within twenty years if present progress is continued.
Unfortunately Fianna Fail don’t seem to have felt the winds of change and relegated their discussion on gender parity to the margins.
We in Cork 5050 are very excited about our Breakfast meeting on the Friday 2nd May in Cork City Hall. We are delighted that Minister Kathleen Lynch has agreed to attend. More news on that shortly…
